China 'seals off' town after man dies of bubonic plague
"A Chinese town has been sealed off and 151 people placed in quarantine since last week after a man died of bubonic plague, state media said Tuesday.
The 30,000 people living in Yumen in the northwestern province of Gansu are not being allowed to leave, and police at roadblocks on its perimeter are telling motorists to find alternative routes, state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) said.
Other reports said that earlier this month the 38-year-old victim had found a dead marmot, a small furry animal which lives on grasslands and is related to the squirrel.
He chopped it up to feed his dog but developed a fever the same day. He was taken to hospital after his condition worsened and died last Wednesday."

I bet he ate the marmot himself.... (Score:3)
It was the Wednesday roadkill special of the day with a dash of Chinese spin and no MSG.
If he was closer to North Korea, he instead would have eaten the dog.

I got your weasel meat right here.

For that matter, who in their right mind gives their dog pork chop bones? Even if there's no meat left on them, they're great for making soup.
